Objectives — This study aimed to examine factors associated with preventive behaviors of COVID-19 among Indonesian nursing students through The Health Belief Model. Material and Methods — A cross-sectional design was used in this study. This study was conducted in a school of nursing in Malang, Indonesia. A total of 112 undergraduate nursing students were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected by online-based questionnaires which were the demographic characteristics, questions about health belief model constructs, and questions about the preventive behaviors from COVID–19 during July 2020. Pearson product-moment was used to analyze the data. Results — This study found that cues to action have positive and significant correlation to preventive behavior of Covid-19. Perceive self-efficacy and perceive benefit have positive and significant correlation to cues to action. Furthermore, perceive self-efficacy also has positive correlation to perceive severity, perceive benefit, and has negative correlation to perceive barrier. Perceive benefit has negative correlation to perceive barrier. Conclusion — Cues to action was related to preventive behavior of Covid-19 among nursing student in this study. Therefore, the nursing student should improve their action in preventive behavior of COVID-19.

Background Prostate cancer is the most common malignant cancer, and after lung cancer, is the second cause of death among all types of cancer in men. This study was done to assess the educational intervention based on the Health Belief Model on the promotion of preventive behaviors of prostate cancer among military men. Methods The present study is a semi-experimental study that was conducted on 80 men of a military collection by using randomized-stratified sampling with proportional allocation approach in BandarAbbas in 2017. The individuals were randomly divided into two groups, intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 40). The data collection tool was a questionnaire including demographic questions, knowledge questions and questions about Health Belief Model constructs and efficiency of preventive behavior that was completed in two stages and PSA Test doing. Data were analyzed by using SPSS software-version 21-, descriptive statistics (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent T-test and paired T-test). Results After three months intervention, the mean score of Perceived Susceptibility, Severity, Benefits, Barriers, Self-Efficacy, and preventive behavior performance were seen significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05), 52.5% of them was done PSA Test. Conclusions Based on the health belief model, educational intervention has been effective in promoting preventive behaviors. According the effect of Health Belief Model components on preventive behaviors it is suggested that health care providers identify the benefits and barriers of preventative behaviors and through enhancing the benefits and reducing the barriers, help men to prevent prostate cancer.

Abstract Background: The COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy or refusal has actually been a threat to global health. In the current situation, health profession students are at risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection during their internship at healthcare facilities. Furthermore, those future healthcare workers will advise people to accept the COVID-19 vaccination. Therefore, the attitude of students towards vaccine acceptance and the predicting factors needs to be elucidated. This study applied the Health Belief Model to determine predictors of COVID-19 vaccine acceptability among health professions students. Methods: 911 students participated in a cross‐sectional online survey in Vietnam. Multinomial logistic regression model determined predictors of the COVID-19 vaccine acceptability. Results: The overall vaccine acceptance, hesitancy, and refusal rates were 58% (95% CI: 54.7% - 61.3%), 40.4% (95% CI: 37.2% - 43.7%) and 1.5% (95% CI: 0.8% - 2.6%), respectively. Regarding vaccination hesitancy, a predictor such as "Receiving recent flu shots” had a negative correlation, whereas "Vaccines haves little efficacy & serious adverse effects” (Perceived barriers), nationality, and majors were positive correlates. For refusal, "Unvaccinated students feasibly infected COVID-19 during hospital internship” (Perceived susceptibility) was a negative correlate. For both hesitancy and refusal, "Mass media appreciating effectiveness and safety of vaccines" (Cues to action), and " Health professions students get serious complications of COVID-19 if not vaccinated" (Perceived severity) had a negative correlation. In contrast, "Manufacturers do not disclose adverse effects of vaccines" (Cues to action), and "Adverse effect causes death" (Perceived barrier) were positive correlates. Strong Health Belief Model predictors of vaccine refusal were "Manufacturers do not disclose adverse effects of vaccines" (Cues to action) (OR= 5.299, 95% CI: 1.687-16.641, p= 0.004), and "Adverse effect causes death" (Perceived barrier) (OR= 10.255, 95% CI = 3.528-29.814, p= 0.0005). Conclusion: Perceived susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19 might lead to vaccination acceptance among students. However, concerns of vaccine effectiveness and safety may still affect the choice of refusal or hesitancy in vaccination. Health information from mass media and transparency of vaccine effectiveness and safety could improve COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become one of the biggest challenges to global health and economy. The present study aimed to explore the factors related to preventive health behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Khuzestan Province, South of Iran, using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods The present cross-sectional study was conducted in the period between July 2020 and September 2020. A total of 1090 people from Khuzestan province participated in the study. The data collection method included a multistage cluster sampling method with a random selection of provincial of health centers. The questionnaire collected socio-demographic information and HBM constructs (e.g., perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and barriers, cues to action, and COVID-19 preventive behaviors). Data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-test, hierarchical multiple linear regression, and SPSS version 22. Results The mean age of the participants was 35.53 ± 11.53, more than half of them were female (61.6%) and married (65.3). The results showed that 27% of the variance in the COVID-19 preventive behaviors was explained by HBM constructs. The regression analysis indicated that female gender (β = 0.11), perceived benefits (β = 0.10), perceived barriers (β = − 0.18), external cues to action (β = 0.25), and internal cues to action (β = 0.12) were significantly associated with COVID-19 preventive behaviors (p < 0.05). Conclusion Designing an educational intervention on the basis of HBM might be considered as a framework for the correction of beliefs and adherence to COVID-19 behavior. Health information campaigns need to (1) emphasize the benefits of preventive behaviors including avoiding the likelihood of getting a chronic disease and complications of the disease, (2) highlight the tips and advice to overcome the barriers (3) provide cues to action by means of showing various reminders in social media (4) focusing on adoption of COVID-19-related preventive behaviors, especially among men.

The relationship between health psychological capital, determinants of health belief model (HBM), and individual’s adoption of preventive behaviors were studied. Participants from Pakistan (N= 323) and Malaysia (N= 343) completed an online survey. Samples from both countries were analyzed separately and compared for measurement model invariance and difference in path coefficients. Data screening, frequency analysis, and common method bias were analyzed using IBM-SPSS-25®. Partial least squares approach to SEM using SMART-PLS 3 software was adopted to analyze the measurement model, structural model, importance-performance analysis, and mediation testing. Our finding showed that model explained higher variance in preventive behavior for Pakistani samples compared to Malaysian samples. Perceived benefits followed by perceived threats were the two most important predictors of preventive behaviors in both countries. The perceived barrier was an important predictor for the Pakistani sample but had no contribution to the Malaysian sample. Health PsyCap had a direct as well as an indirect effect through perceived benefit and perceived threat (Malaysian sample only) on the outcome. Perceived seriousness and perceived susceptibility (Malaysian sample only) were related to preventive behavior through perceived threat.

Kepatuhan pada jadwal pemberian imunisasi dasar merupakan salah satu faktor untuk mencapai UCI (Universal Child Immunization). Selain itu, apabila ibu tidak mematuhi jadwal pemberian imunisasi dasar, maka akan berpengaruh terhadap kekebalan dan kerentanan bayi dari suatu penyakit. Faktor penentu yang mempengaruhi pemberian imunisasi di masyarakat adalah perilaku masyarakat tersebut. Salah satu teori perilaku dalam pelayanan kesehatan adalah HBM (Health Belief Model). HBM terdiri dari 3 kategori utama yaitu persepsi individu, faktor modifikasi (terdiri dari usia, pendidikan, sosial-budaya-agama, dan cues to action), dan kemungkinan tindakan (terdiri dari manfaat dan hambatan). HBM masuk dalam salah satu faktor konseptual pengambilan keputusan orang tua dalam pemberian imunisasi pada anaknya. Tujuannya adalah Untuk mengetahui Gambaran Kepatuhan Ibu Membawa Anak Imunisasi Diwilayah Kerja UPTD Puskesmas Sidumulyo Kota Bengkulu. Desain Penelitian yang digunakan yaitu deskriptif analitik dengan menggunakan rancangan cross sectional. Subjek dalam penelitian yang dilakukan adalah accidental sampling. Populasinya ibu yang mempunyai bayi usia 1-12 bulan di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Sidomulyo yang datang untuk imunisasi pada bulan Mei Tahun 2018. sebanyak 20 ibu.
